Liz’s Morning Devotional based upon Upper Room

August 24, 2021


Read Hebrews 10:19-25


19 Brothers and sisters, we have confidence that we can enter the holy of holies by means of Jesus’ blood, 20 through a new and living way that he opened up for us through the curtain, which is his body, 21 and we have a great high priest over God’s house. 22 Therefore, let’s draw near with a genuine heart with the certainty that our faith gives us, since our hearts are sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies are washed with pure water. 23 Let’s hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, because the one who made the promises is reliable. 24 And let us consider each other carefully for the purpose of sparking love and good deeds. 25 Don’t stop meeting together with other believers, which some people have gotten into the habit of doing. Instead, encourage each other, especially as you see the day drawing near.

Good Morning! Rejoice, Rejoice, Again I say Rejoice!

We are one body! Throughout my life, I have come to realize that I am much better at accomplishing tasks when I am being encouraged by others. When I have taken or even when I teach classes, it is great to have someone with whom you share the experience. You can generate ideas together and you can ask each other questions. Most importantly, you get to pool together your ideas and benefit from the strengths from the others in the group. I can remember many times when I had a daily walk or exercise buddy. Somedays as our agreed upon time approached, I would think, I think I’ll not go today, but because I knew another person was counting on me, I laced up my shoes and headed out the door.

Our life with Christ within the community of faith is similar. We are all blessed with different gifts and different challenges. When we come together as the body of Christ, we can all gain strength from each other. If we feel uninspired, the love emanating from the group will lift and support us. Much as we see in a flock of birds flying overhead, we take turns taking the point and leading as the Holy Spirit leads us. Through the power of the whole, we shall not grow weary as we work together to share the word of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Loving God, Thank You for loving us. May we continue working in You to gather in the lost souls who have lost their way. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen

Thought for the day: How does my Christian community strengthen my faith?


Come together and feel the power! Pastor Liz
